The future of Self-Driving cars is far from assured. Here’s why it would be better for society if the technology is never approved.

The Bonnie and Clydes of Cryptocurrency
Until this weekend, I thought that I was too dumb to understand cryptocurrency. But after reading about the $580 million hackers pilfered from Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, I’m no longer convinced that I’m the moron.
If you aren’t familiar with the Binance heist, you should be.
Bloomberg Exposes Self-Driving Tech “Scam”
Bloomberg today published an expose on self-driving vehicles that confirmed my worst fears and doubts about executives who champion the technology and Wall Street money managers duped by the hype.
Mary Barra Singing Kumbaya Won’t Save GM
When Elon Musk says jump, Tesla and SpaceX employees ask, “How high?”

In my mind the loan is wasteful and risky as I’m doubtful GM can survive if electric vehicles are the future.
Amazon’s Toxic One Medical Acquisition
Amazon’s acquisition of One Medical primary care clinics this week marked another dark moment in the ongoing decline of U.S. healthcare. Consumers who are fed up with the dismal state of U.S. airlines would be wise to heed this warning.
